Does anyone know for certain that a criminal history check (and the $18 money order) is necessary for every P2P application? I can't find anything on the permit application and my town is telling me yes.

Dropped off P2P this morning to be extended. Permit was dated 4/13, clerk told me the Chief wouldn't sign the extension until Friday (the 13th). I didn't feel like pointing out that May has 31 days so it should be the 12th, but whatever.

Woodbridge, around 3:30 in the afternoon. Same thing happened to the guy ahead of me only he was buying bullets. Couldn't tell what caliber, but they were bullets.

I'd sell blood to raise the funds to pay the higher cost of buying local before shopping at Wall Mart, but that is my personal decision, and I don't judge you for yours. I can honestly say that I've never spent a thin dime at Wall Mart, on anything. With that said, as I understood, they (Wall Mart) doesn't sell Ammo in NJ stores, so even if I wanted too, I couldn't.

I wear a holster in the pits at my range, but "cold." I'm not allowed to draw and fire until participating in 3 matches and getting a special user ID. I'm OK with that. It's a lot easier to holster the gun after shooting so I can look and mark up my targets rather than having to walk back to the table to put the gun down and then go to the targets. It also gives me an opportunity to practice making the gun safe (showing clear, dropping the hammer) and holstering properly so that I won't get DQ'd when I start shooting matches.

Middletown, NJ, wife dropped off 2 permits last Friday (6/29) to be renewed (extended) as the 90 days was close. Received a phone call on Tuesday (7/3) that they were ready to be picked up.

To those who've said they haven't had to deal with this yet, it's new. I bought shells there 2 weeks ago without issue. To Pete F, I don't disagree, however, the economics of the transaction being what they are, and the fact that I needed shells Tuesday so we could shoot this morning, let me little choice. I always prefer to buy from a local store and quite honestly feel dirty buying at Dicks, but $53 (after coupon) v. $85 at my normal place, for the same damn case of shells, well, you do the math. I'm going to contact Dicks corporate tomorrow and get an explaination. The first time I had to deal with the stupid plastic box I commented to the cashier and she said "it's for safety." I told her the only way she or anyone else in the store was going to get hurt by a box of shells was if I dropped them on her foot. The whole thing is stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. I'll let you guys know

I purchased a case of 12 ga. target load on Tuesday. Bad enough that I'm not allowed to carry the box to the cash register. I suppose I should be happy, damn thing is heavy. But imagine my surprise when the cashier asked for my FID. I told her politely that she didn't need to see my FID for shotgun shells. Next cashier overhears my objection and suggests that I give her my drivers license instead. I politely told him I don't need a DL to purchase shotgun shells. His reply "The system (cash register) requires a number." I was late and in no mood or frame of mind to argue so I provided my FID. Buuut, what REALLY pizzed me off was when I had to hit "Yes" or "no" to the question on the credit card point of sale pad that read "Are you a US Citizen?" FWIW, they did the same thing to the guy ahead of me but he was buying what appeared to be pistol ammo. Bad enough we have to submit to a log but now the second step at the cash register is just insulting.

Thanks. I've already shot one and decided that I want one. It was to be our first but we couldn't locate a full size with NJ compliant magazines so I bought the FS92 my guy had in stock. Next will be the 1911. Then the PX4. Then? Who knows....

Don't know. Still want a PX4 in 9. We're in the early stages of building a collection. There are lots of things I'd like but still sorting out preferences and priorities. I've got 1 permit on hand that will be used for a 1911 in 22. My wife has 2 permits on hand but we don't know what to get for her with her permits. She's yet to join us at the range and so I'm in a holding pattern with her permits. I wanted to get her (her to get) a pink Mosquito to share with my daughter.

I considered applying for more Harry, for that very reason. They are only 2 bucks a pop. 3 will likely suffice but I'll reconsider.

I'm applying for 3 on Monday. We'll see how long. Last time was just over 2 months.

Interested in more comments and experience with this gun and the Sig. A 1911 in 22 is our next purchase.

^ Vlad, when Harry says "We'll see them when we see them" he means he wants to see them now. Actually, I don't know Harry or what he means when he says things. I just felt like inserting myself into the conversaiton and being noticed. Which I've done. Oooookaaaaay.

I've got the 22 conversion kit for my Beretta and like it. For this situation I'd rather have a dedicated 1911 in 22 and if/when were ready a dedicated 1911 in 45.

Yeah, wasn't me, but thanks for making the offer to share your gun. That is very nice of you. I'm sure one day we'll meet up.

What made you pick the Colt over the Sig or the UGS (USG?) 1911's? I've been looking into them and I like the Colt's 12 round mag over the 10 round offered by the others.

I always get worried when someone implies "Is you da guy?" lol Did we meet on 6/1 at the indoor action at Old Bridge? I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it this Friday. The boy graduates from middle school and I'm not sure what plans we've got, and when I say "We've," I mean that my wife has made. lol

^ stalker. :squid: Hey bud. Didn't know you were over here. Small world, huh?

^ Rich, I stopped in to Bullseye last night. Nice shop with a lot of potential. I could see it becoming a great shop once they figure out the product lines they need to carry and develop a client following. Thanks for pointing them out to me.

Really? My experience has been otherwise. I just tried to send you a PM and it wouldn't go through. A few weeks ago another member sent me a PM about a Sig Mosquito and I was unable to reply. I've attempted 2 PMs to Max regarding the CJRPC forum and they haven't gone through. If you'd be willing to help a new guy, please drop me a PM and I'll see if I can reply to it. However, all that notwithstanding, I wouldn't have made you an offer via PM because, like I said, on the other forum where I spend most of my time, all dealings in their Buy Sell are required to be in public. This place is different and I'll get the hang of it as I become more familiar. Again, I didn't mean to insult you. You asked for an offer and I offered all the cash I had in my pocket. Literally.

Understood. Hopefully the banter back and forth with spark some interest and you'll get your asking price. As funds become available I may be interested in other items your selling and I hope this exchange won't be held against me.

Thanks for the advice Harry. I don't have PM access, and the other forums that I participate on require all offers and acceptance to be done in public.

I stopped by the Sportsman Shanty on Sunday on the way home. It was an experience. lol. The shop is old and so are the people who run it. I remember going to the place 30 years ago for a scope for my BB gun. Anyway, he didn't have any 12 ga # 8 shot shells but there were 2 cases of birds on the floor, so I took them. I felt bad using a credit card so I paid with the final little bit of cash I had in my pocket. Now I'm broke. lol. The lady gave my son the DVD and booklet so he can take the hunter course. They are VERY nice people and I'll shop their again, just to support them.

I've never been to Cherry Ridge. I did shoot some 5 stand this weekend at my range, CJRPC. They shoot every Sunday.
